SUMMER

It's summer! Well, for me at least. My summer started about a week ago, but I figured I would write something for my blog about how it's been going so far.

For starters, I've got 2 jobs, and I'm hoping to do a bit of volunteer work on the side. I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't always busy! Not only this, but I am helping my dad prepare my grandpa's house for sale, as well as learning new things and catching up on my reading. 15 books by August, do you think I can make it? As of about a week ago, I became completely and totally obsessed with The Walking Dead on AMC. It took about a week but I am all caught up on all 3 seasons. Sad, isn't it? But that's why I love the summer: it's a time for me to do completely pointless and non-beneficial things and not feel bad about it. I mean I don't have any homework; this is my time to relax. Why not enjoy it?

But don't think I'm a complete bore. Along with my work and volunteering, I've got plans for some fun shenanigans with my bros: Cedar Point weekend is coming soon, plus my sister's trailer warming party (if that idea ever gets off the ground), kayaking, visiting friends from all over the state, going to Grand Rapids to break in my bestie's new apartment, camping with the family, and cliff diving, just to name a few. See, I'm interesting! Or at least, I'm going to keep telling myself that.

I'll hopefully also muster up the urge to get to editing my book. It's slow at the moment; can't seem to find the motivation. Then again, writing is like that a lot. I just have to do it, and stop thinking about it. That's how things get done.

In a little while I'll post again giving an update on my life and my adventures: I'll probably write about Cedar Point once I get there. For now, this is what I've got. I may be the only one even reading this, but it's always been more of a personal record anyway. For my own purposes. If anyone else is reading, though, then I will write again soon.

What a lovely journey this life is turning out to be, hmm?
